A. This appliance is equipped with an
intermittent pilot ignition (IPI) device
which automatically lights the burn-
er. DO NOT try to light the burner by
hand.
B. BEFORE LIGHTING, smell all around
the appliance area for gas. Be sure to
smell next to the oor because some
gas is heavier than air and will settle
on the oor.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS
• DO NOT try to light any appliance.
• DO NOT touch any electric switch; do
not use any phone in your building.
DO NOT CONNECT LINE VOLT-
AGE (110/120 VAC OR 220/240
VAC) TO THE CONTROL VALVE.
Improper installation, adjustment, al-
teration, service or maintenance can
cause injury or property damage. Re-
fer to the owner’s information manual
provided with this appliance.
This appliance needs fresh air for
safe operation and must be installed
so there are provisions for adequate
combustion and ventilation air.
If not installed, operated, and main-
tained in accordance with the manufac-
turer’s instructions, this product could
expose you to substances in fuel or
fuel combustion which are known to the
State of California to cause cancer, birth
defects, or other reproductive harm.
Keep burner and control compartment
clean. See installation and operating
instructions accompanying appliance.
Hot while in operation. DO NOT touch.
Keep children, clothing, furniture, gaso-
line and other liquids having ammable
vapors away.
DO NOT operate the appliance with
xed glass assembly removed, cracked
or broken. Replacement of the xed
glass assembly should be done by a
licensed or qualied service person.
• Immediately call your gas supplier
from a neighbor’s phone. Follow the
gas supplier’s instructions.
• If you cannot reach your gas sup-
plier, call the re department.
C. DO NOT use this appliance if any
part has been under water. Imme-
diately call a qualied service tech-
nician to inspect the appliance and
to replace any part of the control
system and any gas control which
has been under water.

Note: If the module is in LOCK-OUT mode, resetting the
circuit breaker to the appliance will also reset the module.
Figure 2.1 Control Module
I. Control Module Operation
1. The control module has an ON/OFF/REMOTE selector
switch that must be set. See Figure 2.1.
OFF Position: Appliance will ignore all power inputs and
will not respond to any commands from a wall switch or
remote. The unit should be in the OFF position during
installation, service, battery installation, fuel conversion,
and in the event that the control goes into LOCK-OUT
mode as a result of an error code.
ON Position: Appliance will ignite and run continuously
in the HI ame setting, with no adjustment in ame
output. This mode of operation is primarily used for
initial installation or power outage operation with battery
backup.
REMOTE Position: Appliance will initiate commands
from an optional wired wall switch and/or the wireless
remote (RC300AU).
2. If using a wired wall switch with the module in REMOTE
mode, the ame output can be adjusted with the HI/
LO selector switch on the module. See Figure 2.3.
Note that the ame HI/LO selector switch will become
inactive once an optional remote control (RC300AU) is
programmed to the control module. Note that the control
module will always ignite the replace on HI and remain
so for the initial 10 seconds of operation. If the HI/LO
is switched to the LO position, the ame output will
automatically drop to the lowest setting after the ame
has been established for 10 sec. After this 10 second
period, the ame can be adjusted from HI to LO with
the switch.
3. The control module has safety feature that automatically
shuts down the replace after 9 hours of continuous
operation without receiving a command from the
RC300AU remote.
4. If you intend to use both an optional wired wall switch
and the RC300AU remote control to operate your
replace, the wall switch will override any commands
given by the remote.
5. The module has the capability to recognize potential
malfunctions. If these occur, it will fail to ignite and/
or respond to a command to ignite via the wall switch
and/or remote. In this case, the module may have
gone into LOCK-OUT mode. In this state, it will emit
a LED error code. To reset the error code, switch the
selector to OFF, and then back to REMOTE or ON. If
the ignition command again fails, the module will emit
an LED error code, prior to going back into LOCK-OUT
mode. Contact your dealer for service if this occurs.

J. After Fireplace is Lit
Initial Break-in Procedure
• The fireplace should be run three to four hours
continuously on high.
• Turn the replace off and allow it to completely cool.
• Remove xed glass assembly. See Section 9.I through 9.K.
• Clean xed glass assembly. See Section 3.
• Replace the xed glass assembly and run continuously
on high an additional 12 hours.
This cures the materials used to manufacture the re-
place.
NOTICE! Open windows for air circulation during re-
place break-in.
• Some people may be sensitive to smoke and odors.
• Smoke detectors may activate.
K. Frequently Asked Questions
ISSUE SOLUTIONS
Condensation on the glass This is a result of gas combustion and temperature variations. As the replace warms, this con-
densation will disappear.
Blue ames This is a result of normal operation and the ames will begin to yellow as the replace is allowed
to burn for 20 to 40 minutes.
Odor from replace
When rst operated, this replace may release an odor for the rst several hours. This is caused
by the curing of materials from manufacturing. Odor may also be released from nishing materials
and adhesives used near the replace. These circumstances may require additional curing related
to the installation environment.
Film on the glass This is a normal result of the curing process of the paint. Glass should be cleaned within 3 to 4
hours of initial burning. A non-abrasive cleaner such as gas appliance glass cleaner may be neces-
sary. See your dealer.
Metallic noise
Noise is caused by metal expanding and contracting as it heats up and cools down, similar to the
sound produced by a furnace or heating duct. This noise does not affect the operation or longevity
of the replace.
Power Outages (battery backup)
This appliance can operated on battery power in the event of a power outage. To access the bat-
tery pack, the decorative front, mesh and glass assembly must be removed. Refer to Section 12
for more details.
Wall above appliance feels hot to
the touch.
No action necessary. This appliance ships with a non-combustible material attached. Specica-
tions of the attached non-combustible material are listed in Section 1.E.

• Framing and nishing details.
• Whether optional accessories—devices such as a fan,
wall switch, or remote control—are desired.
D. Inspect Appliance and Components
• Carefully remove the appliance and components from
the packaging.
• The vent system components and decorative doors and
fronts may be shipped in separate packages.
• If packaged separately, the log set and appliance grate
must be installed.
• Report to your dealer any parts damaged in shipment,
particularly the condition of the glass.
•Read all of the instructions before starting the instal-
lation. Follow these instructions carefully during the
installation to ensure maximum safety and benet.
WARNING! Risk of Fire or Explosion! Damaged parts
could impair safe operation. DO NOT install damaged, in-
complete or substitute components. Keep appliance dry.
